  • Patent number: 11146442
    Abstract: An online system receives a request from a posting user to post content describing a type of life event about the posting user to a user profile page of the posting user as well as a privacy setting for the content. The online system accesses a set of animations, in which each animation is associated with a type of life event and selects an animation that is associated with the type of life event about the posting user. Upon receiving a request from a viewing user to view the user profile page, the online system determines whether to include the selected animation in the user profile page based on the privacy setting and information describing a connection between the users. Based on the determination, the online system generates a user interface including at least the user profile page and sends the user interface for display to the viewing user.
